In the Summer of 2012 Dirk en Trudy Regter from the Netherlands started a journey in their 1915 Ford Model T, visiting over 50 countries covering all the continents of the world.

This journey of approx. 80,000 miles will be made in order to raise money to support the worldwide work of SOS Children's villages International. Your contribution will of course be highly appreciated.

A couple of days in Christchurch

We have met friends of Kathryn. They come from the village Twizel in the south. When we pass by them we are invited to have diner with them. A pleasant prospect.
We have send our first postcards to our grandchildren.
We picked up the paperwork for the cars at the Customs at the Airport. They are signed and oké.
On our way back home Trudy hide herself behind a totempole.

At Friday on the square near the Cathedrale there are a lot of foodcars. You can eat food from several countries and it the taste is very good, especialy with the summer sun in your face.
